Spread the Awareness, Not the Virus

Spending one semester working with organizations dealing with HIV/AIDS and interacting with HIV positive people moved me in many ways. I saw in them the zest for life despite a looming sickness they are facing. From their loved ones I've learned that HIV is not an illness we must condemn and stigmatize. It is something that we must be aware of. 

December 1 is world AIDS day.
Spread the awareness, not the virus.
